Fantastic course that gives that provides both a theoretical and practical approaches to behaviour deescalation. Best course in my 25 years of education.

This has been an enlightening course which surely will translate in better support to the people we work with. The contents delivered were spot on and very well broken into chunks. Ben was amazing in delivering the course, great rapport and extremely knowledgeable. Many thanks to Ben and all the team. Great work!

I had real trepidation regarding the nature of and my previous awareness of restraint/physical intervention when behaviour of concern is presented. Day 1 completely alleviated this worry, the ethos, approach and consideration of the young person is understood at all levels and Ben reiterated this throughout. Fantastic training and perfectly pitched for our school.

I enjoyed the course.Ben was approachable and engaging. He kept me interested across the 3 days. He made the course insightful and delivered it in insightful way. I was aware of some of the contents covered in the course but it was good to hear it in a different format and also to refresh my knowledge. The restraint skills really surprised me as I thought they would be much harder to carry out. I feel confident that I could use the holds in my role.

the course overall was good and its content was well structured, i think the trainer was engaging and made the day course interesting as well being able to answer questions for us. i feel that the material is enough to educate us but i do still feel that some breakaways are not included or do not offer appropriate safety, such as the rear naked choke.

Response : Hi James. Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I believe that the technique you are referring to is a MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) move. I think it is important to recognise that we are training staff in your organisation to work with young people who are victims of abuse and trauma and therefore the breakaway skills we teach are suitable for this population. If you have any further questions around this, it may be worth speaking to your line manager who I am sure will reassure you that the young people in your organisation all have individual risk assessments and positive behaviour support plans which identify their needs.
